Your muscles get tighter every year you don't address them. Stretch therapy at Strong Republic isn't yoga and it isn't massage — it's professional, one-on-one assisted stretching designed to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and keep your body moving the way it should after 40.
Available at all three Coachella Valley studios in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and La Quinta.
A guided, hands-on approach to flexibility that goes far beyond what you can do on your own
As your body ages, muscles shorten, connective tissue stiffens, and joints lose the range of motion they once had. Sitting at a desk, driving, and even sleeping in the wrong position compound the problem. The result is chronic tightness, nagging pain, and a body that feels ten years older than it should.
Stretch therapy is the solution. A certified stretch therapist guides your body through its full range of motion using assisted stretching and soft tissue techniques. Unlike conventional massage, the goal isn't relaxation — it's restoring mobility, releasing tight muscles, and retraining your nervous system to let go of the tension patterns that cause pain and stiffness.
Every session is tailored to your body. Your therapist assesses where you're tight, what's causing it, and builds a stretching protocol that targets your specific limitations — whether that's locked-up hips from sitting, a stiff thoracic spine limiting your golf swing, or shoulders that won't let you reach overhead without pain.
Our corrective stretch therapy addresses the root causes of pain and stiffness — not just the symptoms
Lower back pain, neck stiffness, and joint aches often come from muscle tension — not structural damage. By releasing tight muscle groups and restoring proper length-tension relationships, stretch therapy eliminates the tension that's causing your pain.
Stress, sitting, daily activity, and exercise all cause muscles to become overactive and short. Corrective stretching retrains your nervous system to release that tension — leading to better sleep, less cramping, and a body that actually feels loose.
Whether you're a golfer who needs a fuller backswing, a gardener who wants to bend without pain, or someone who just wants to reach the top shelf again — our stretch therapy rebuilds the range of motion your body has lost over the years.
Tight hips and a stiff T-spine limit your power in golf, tennis, pickleball, and every sport that requires rotation. Stretch therapy opens up the movement patterns that let you swing harder, move faster, and recover quicker.
Tight muscles pull joints out of alignment and make you vulnerable to strains, tears, and falls. Regular stretch therapy keeps your muscles at their proper length so your body moves safely under load — in the gym and in daily life.
Muscle tension keeps your nervous system in fight-or-flight mode. Stretch therapy activates the parasympathetic response — reducing cortisol, calming your body, and helping you sleep deeper and recover faster between workouts and rounds of golf.

Common questions about assisted stretching at Strong Republic
Massage focuses on relaxing muscles and soft tissue. Stretch therapy focuses on restoring range of motion by actively guiding your body through movement patterns. Your therapist moves your limbs and joints through their full range while applying targeted stretching techniques. The result is lasting mobility improvement, not just temporary relaxation.
Sessions are typically 30 to 50 minutes, depending on your needs. Your therapist will recommend a session length based on how many areas need attention and your specific goals.
Yes — in fact, stretch therapy is one of the best things you can do after surgery or with chronic joint issues. Your therapist works within your safe range of motion and never pushes past what your body can handle. Many of our clients have had hip or knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and back surgeries.
Stretch therapy sessions are available as standalone appointments or as an add-on to your personal training membership. Contact any of our three studios for current pricing — call Palm Springs at (760) 388-2638, Palm Desert at (760) 766-0934, or La Quinta at (760) 508-1993.
For best results, we recommend 1-2 sessions per week, especially when starting out. Once your mobility improves, many clients drop to once a week or every other week for maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a frequency based on your specific situation.
